The premise of this book sounded fun and I could imagine great stories from a devilishly incorrigible child raised in a home with a father who is a priest. There was so much potentiaal, and some of the stories are, in fact, humorous. I am just not cool enough to understand the dialogue of the author who is always overly dramatic, uses oblique references and wants to shock you at every turn with her attempt to be the complete opposite of her religious parents. Coupled with her "way too hip" references on all things from Twitter rants to a whole chapter devoted to semen stains on a hotel bed, I just could not finish this book. I am far from prude and initially laughed at her mother's response to the stains on the bed, but after about 200 slang references to the "fluid" I just could not read/listen further. I also pride myself on trying to stay relevant to the younger generatiion's terms and references, but she just goes way too far to shock the reader. I get it, it is her attempt to be cool and hip, and in reality I believe it is her personality to be the shocking and diabolically rebellious child of her religious parents. In her defense, half of what grated on me was the narration in the audiobook version which I believe was read by the author and completely over-acted with grating and unbelieveably over done voices! Could have been a really good book, but there were just too many obscure references for me to finish the book.
This book had me alternately in stitches and poignantly moved by the author's life with her aloof, guitar-playing, bombastic, slovenly, congregation-caring, Catholic priest of a father and her OCD, warm, hilarious, nurturing, charismatic mother, and her outraged, sensitive husband and her scarred siblings who somehow survived a pretty oppressive upbringing with the saving grace of humor and their mother's unconditional love. Lockwood had me laughing out loud for extended periods with her astute observations described so accurately and poetically that one could see, taste, smell or hear the scene just as she did. A cautionary tale by a talented writer that painfully reveals why this priest should not have also been a parent.However, her mother was a saint! Loved this book!
Very much enjoyed the first half of the book as there were ,any laugh out loud moment. The second half of the book bordered on tedious. The fact the writer is a poet became obvious. The text became wordy and over flowery to the point it was hard to follow.
The sentences are like great big treats to wrap your head around. The book is also flat-out funny. Ms. Lockwood finds a unique way to say anything, but what is more gripping is her story: she runs away with a fellow lover of poetry and this man becomes her husband. They move back in with her Father, the all-consuming cheddar-devouring "Homey don't play that," lead of the book. Patricia never attends a dull MFA, never moves to a cool, hipster city, and still her poems are picked from a Newyorker slush pile because they are that damned good. Better still: the way she sees the world, colored by this early Catholic lens that animates her now secular readings of culture which are filled with all her father's bombast. Then there are sweet, touching moments, like her relaying of the life of a calm church handyman who endured much. I loved this book.
Listening to this audio book was like sipping on a soul-soothing, bottomless vanilla latte in front of a fire with nothing to do but be entertained. Lockwood's writing is one poetic sentence after another, metaphor after metaphor, strung together with magnificent style, superbly manifesting colorful characters by letting us in to "hear" their language and observe their actions through her eyes - all the while knowing that her view is as skewed and filtered as any flawed human being is. i LOVED this book and am planning on listening to it again. i highly recommend the audiobook!
As someone who grew up in a religious family, and as a seminary graduate who was in the ministry for five years, I found this book to be a great read. It is humorous but never mean-spirited, and offers illuminating thoughts for anyone who is interested in what life is like for those who grow up in a minister's family. This is not a "religious" book. Rather it is a thoughtful rumination on institutional religion and how it is perceived by those within and outside of that circle. It is a highly entertaining reflection on familial and marital relationships within the context of growing up in the often times wacky ecclesiastical world.
I am not a poet or especially into poetry, so perhaps am not the best reader of this careening, caroming and often overwritten and overwrought memoir of growing up with very odd parents in a particularly odd setting—Catholic rectories and a sort of Catholic world. It is quite funny and jammed with strange anecdotes and I get why it delighted the critics.
Someone recommended to me and said this book was hilarious. I guess it is just not my type of humor. I stopped reading, I found it not that interesting or compelling.
